<\/p>\nJustin Trudeau has furiously denied allegations he recently flew to India on a plane “full of cocaine” and that he didn’t leave his hotel room for two days when he landed in the country.<\/p>\n
Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra made extraordinary claims against the Canada’s Prime Minister during a TV interview on Monday.<\/p>\n
He told the Indian television network Zee News: “When Justin Trudeau came to India for the G20 this month, his plane was full of cocaine. He did not come out of his room for two days.”<\/p>\n
Trudeau’s office has furiously dismissed the allegations, telling the Toronto Sun in a statement: “This is absolutely false and a troubling example of how disinformation can make its way into media reporting.”<\/p>\n
According to the Canadian daily newspapers, Vohra was also quoted as saying in his TV interview: “My wife saw him at the Delhi airport and said that Trudeau looked depressed and stressed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“We don’t know the reason. I don’t know the reality, but social media and some ‘credible rumours’ suggest that his plane was full of cocaine.<\/p>\n
“He has become lonely. He is now trying to show that he is a Canadian Rambo and nothing can go wrong in his presence. India has done the right thing by suspending visa services in Canada.”<\/p>\n
Trudeau’s recent visit to India seemingly intensified tensions with Canada after he alleged Indian officials played a role in the assassination of a Sikh activist in British Columbia.<\/p>\n
The accusation from the Canadian Prime Minister over the killing of 45-year-old Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 has triggered a widening rift around diplomatic expulsions.<\/p>\n
Trudeau’s allegations of Indian government involvement in the crime were partly based on ntercepted communications between Indian officials and the country’s diplomats in Canada, an official told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The unnamed person alleged some of this intelligence was provided by a ‘Five Eyes’ member – the intelligence-sharing alliance that includes Canada, the US, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The official did not provide details on who exactly provided the intelligence, what was contained in the communications or how they were obtained.<\/p>\n
Tensions between the two countries have exploded after Trudeau told parliament on Monday there were ‘credible allegations’ of Indian involvement in the assassination on Canadian soil.<\/p>\n
India has dismissed the allegations as “absurd” but they have triggered a furious back and forth between the two countries, with each expelling a diplomat.<\/p>\n

It is believed Trudeau and Zelensky were both unaware of Hunka’s history.<\/p>\n In a televised address, the Canadian Prime minister said: “This is a mistake that deeply embarrassed Parliament and Canada.<\/p>\n “It was a horrendous violation of the memory of the millions of people who died in the Holocaust and it was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people.”<\/p>\n
